Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the relationship between seed viability and their moisture content when exposed to high temperatures. The author meticulously conducted experiments on radish seeds, varying their moisture levels and subjecting them to controlled temperatures. The results reveal that the amount of moisture present significantly impacts seed viability, with higher moisture levels leading to increased susceptibility to heat damage. The author also observed a delay in germination for seeds exposed to high temperatures, with the delay becoming more pronounced as moisture content increased. Interestingly, dessicating seeds, or gradually removing moisture through controlled heating, increased their resistance to high temperatures. This book adds to the understanding of seed physiology and its implications for seed storage and germination. The author's experiments demonstrate the importance of controlling moisture content and temperature to preserve seed viability. This knowledge is crucial for the preservation of plant genetic resources and the development of effective seed storage strategies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780331078916_0
